I used to use Durabond when I firs started, and it works well (for wood), but I had the occassional mishap where the expanding glue actually pushed the tube out again, and it can be a bit messier to clean up. It's great though for ensuring you have a nice firm grip between the blank & tube, no matter what the gap.

I started using titebond polyurathane glue but a 500ml bottle was too big and half of it went off. As SM said, Bunnings sell another product in a nice small bottle (150-200ml?). I have been using it successfully for a while but with transparent acrylics you can see often see the web the glue makes through the finished pen. If you're going to use it on acrylics you need to put a few drops of water into the blank and shake it around otherwise there won't be enough moisture to activate the glue.
This probably doesn't help Barbossa much but there should be similar over in the States. I only use medium CA if I'm in a hurry to finish a pen, otherwise its poly-u with a minimum 4hr cure on straight grained woods and preferably overnight for everything.
CorbsIt's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.
